  • Stir together first 5 ingredients in small saucepan over medium heat until jelly and butter are melted.
  • Remove giblets and neck from turkey and discard. Rinse turkey with cold water; pat dry. Place apple, onion, and parsley sprigs in turkey cavity. Place turkey, breast side up, on a rack in a shallow roasting pan. Brush turkey with half of jelly glaze; sprinkle with 1 teaspoons pepper and 1/4 teaspoons salt.

Gradually add chicken broth, apple cider and whipping cream; cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until mixture is thickened and bubbly. Stir in pepper and salt. Yields 3 cups.

  1. A wonderful recipe, simple yet fantastic!<br/>I have never baked turkey without using th old fashioned stuffing mix but this worked so well. I needed a gluten free version instead of stuffing and this recipe was just the trick!<br/>The turkey browned so well and was so moist, with a hint of apple and mustard through the turkey meat.<br/>The gravy was creamy and rich and just complimented the turkey meat perfectly.<br/>Thanks Nancy for helping me make a different way to bake turkey for Christmas.
